Materials
Fine Art Print: pigment giclée printing on heavyweight 330 gsm (17 mil), 100% cotton Hot Press paper, on regularly calibrated giclée printers. The paper is acid-free and archival-grade, with a smooth matte surface and the high color gamut and black density that let a dark ground and fine linework keep their depth. Supplied unframed, with no added white margin, ready for your own frame.
Framed Fine Art Print: the same cotton fine art paper in a 1.25 inch solid wood frame. A white, acid-free, 4-ply mat with a 45-degree bevel and optical-grade, shatter-resistant clear acrylic (safer to ship than glass) are included. The print is mounted to foam core for a flat presentation, with a kraft paper dust cover and installed hanging wire on the back.
Glossy Metal Print: the image is transferred by dye sublimation into polymer-coated aluminum with a glossy white base. The 1.14 mm panel has a scratch- and water-resistant surface, with a hidden inset mount that positions it about 3/4 inch off the wall. Display indoors, away from direct sunlight.
Digital Download: a high-resolution JPEG for personal, non-commercial use. No physical paper, frame, or metal panel is included.
Dimensions
Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.
Framed Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches, measured across the mat and acrylic area inside the frame. The mat sits within that area, so the visible image is about 6 x 8, 12 x 16, or 18 x 24 inches. The outside frame is larger than the listed size.
Glossy Metal Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches. During sublimation, 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the artwork may be cropped, so the printed edge can differ slightly from the preview.
Digital Download: a 7200 x 9000 pixel JPEG at 300 dpi for 24 x 30 inch printing. A digital add-on instead matches the selected physical size: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, or 24 x 30 inches at 300 dpi.
Made like something you keep.
The field itself
This is Cherry Point's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.
Museum-quality cotton paper
Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.
Solid wood framing or glossy metal
Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Cherry Point MCAS (Cunningham Field) Runway Diagram Print
Cherry Point MCAS (Cunningham Field) is a four runway field, and on this airport map print those four runways read as two heavy diagonals crossing near the center of the sheet in a broad X. The longest of them, 14L/32R, runs 8,978 feet by 200 feet of asphalt. Its paired neighbor 14R/32L runs 8,397 feet by 200 feet, and at print scale the two sit close enough that the pair carries the eye as a single bold stroke from the upper left corner to the lower right.
The second diagonal works the same way. 05L/23R measures 8,489 feet by 196 feet, the one slightly narrower strip on the field, and 05R/23L measures 8,189 feet by 200 feet. All four surfaces are asphalt, so nothing on the sheet competes for attention: the ink is one weight throughout, and the geometry does the work. Threshold numbers anchor the four corners of the X, with a tight cluster of end labels where the two bands meet. Taxiways, aprons and ramp structures sit behind the runways in a quiet gray that fills the left half of the composition and keeps the X from floating.
That symmetry is why this one hangs well. A pure X is rare on a large field, and it gives you a composition with a real center point rather than a stripe drifting across a frame, which means it holds its own over a desk or in the middle of a wall of smaller pieces. The header carries the NKT identifier, Cherry Point, North Carolina, the coordinates and 29 feet of elevation. Depending on the colorway you choose, the runways read as either the darkest element on the sheet or the brightest. Nearby fields in the series pick up the same treatment if you are building a coastal Carolina grouping, including New Bern to the west and Kinston further inland.
Cherry Point (NKT) print, common questions
How many runways does NKT have?
Four, and all four are drawn on the print. They are 14L/32R at 8,978 feet, 05L/23R at 8,489 feet, 14R/32L at 8,397 feet and 05R/23L at 8,189 feet. Arranged as two crossing pairs, they form the X that defines the composition.
What is the longest runway at Cherry Point MCAS?
14L/32R, at 8,978 feet long and 200 feet wide, with an asphalt surface. It is the diagonal that runs from the upper left of the sheet toward the lower right.
Where is NKT and how high is the field?
Cherry Point MCAS (Cunningham Field) is at Cherry Point, North Carolina, and the field elevation is 29 feet. Both the elevation and the coordinates are set in the header block below the diagram.
What does NKT refer to on the print?
NKT is the three letter identifier for Cherry Point MCAS (Cunningham Field), and it is the code set in large type at the bottom of the artwork. It is what most people recognize the field by, so it gets the weight on the sheet.
How accurate is the runway layout?
The diagram is plotted from published airport information, so runway designators, published lengths and widths, and the angles between them follow that data. It is artwork rather than a navigation document, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Surface markings, lighting and signage are examples of what gets left out for legibility at wall size.
What sizes and finishes does this come in, and does it make a good gift?
It is available as a Fine Art Print, a Framed Fine Art Print, a Glossy Metal Print or a Digital Download, in a range of sizes. Physical pieces are made to order, and the digital version is a file. For anyone with a Cherry Point connection the X layout is instantly recognizable, which is what makes it land as a gift.
